An alliance of 11 newspapers from Japan to Pakistan announced the launch of an online newspaper designed to provide readers with an Asian perspective of the region that would serve as an alternative to Western media organizations.

The Asia News Network said the Web site will also provide weather and market reports, as well as job openings from around the region.
